……
Straddling the Chinese New Year's Eve, the little boy swallowed the magnet by mistake
"Mom, I swallowed the magnet in my stomach, what should I do?" It turned out that when Xiao Yi (pseudonym) was watching the New Year's Eve program with his family, he grabbed an olive-shaped magnet and played with it in his mouth when his parents did not pay attention. Seeing the enchantment, I accidentally swallowed the magnet. The original cross-Chinese New Year's Eve became a sleepless night for the family.
Parents panicked and used mobile phones to search for processing methods, and even let Xiaoyi eat a handful of leeks in an attempt to promote discharge according to online remedies. After eating, Xiao Yi's bloating discomfort worsened. The parents quickly sent Xiao Yi to the emergency department of the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. After CT examination, it was found that the magnet had entered the stomach. The emergency department doctor immediately contacted the hospital's endoscopic surgery department to remove the magnet for the child through a gastroscope.
A CT shows that the magnet has entered the stomach.
After sufficient preoperative preparation, Hu Jiancong, deputy director of the endoscopic surgery department of the hospital, performed a sedative and analgesic gastroscopy on Xiaoyi. Under the gastroscope, a large amount of leek residue is left in the stomach cavity, but the magnet is not visible. "In general, the emptying time of the stomach is 4-6 hours". Therefore, Hu Jiancong believes that the magnet is still inside the stomach, but it is only covered by food scraps. Through the gastroscopic foreign body forceps, the leek residue is completely removed in stages, and the magnet is finally exposed to the gastroscope.
The magnet is difficult to clamp, and the doctor "wraps the dumplings" to take it out
Hu Jiancong tried to use foreign body clamps, traps and other conventional foreign body devices, and found that there was no way to clamp the magnet and take it out. He immediately contacted the operating room, borrowed the sterile specimen commonly used in the laparoscopy of the operating room to remove the bag, tied a silk thread to the bag, and then brought the specimen bag into the gastric cavity through the gastroscope, slowly pushed the magnet into the specimen bag like a "dumpling" through the foreign body forceps, and finally pulled the silk thread through the mouth and finally removed the magnet completely.
The magnet enters the specimen bag smoothly.
After removing the foreign body, Xiao Yi slowly woke up, and after half an hour of rest, he could drink and eat normally.
Reminder: Parents who swallow foreign bodies should not dispose of it indiscriminately
Olive-shaped magnet
Hu Jiancong reminded: "Swallowing magnet-like toys can cause very serious medical incidents in children, and at the beginning of last year, the hospital treated 2-year-old children who had perforation of the gastrointestinal tract caused by swallowing magnetic beads, and even needed to repair the perforated intestinal tube through surgery." Magnet toys, button batteries, etc. may cause digestive tract perforation, fish spines, bones, etc. will damage the digestive tract mucosa and even puncture the digestive tract to puncture the surrounding tissues and blood vessels, parents should remain calm after finding that children swallow foreign bodies, do not listen to folk remedies with 'eat leeks' and 'drink vinegar' and other ways to deal with, should immediately go to the hospital for treatment. At the same time, parents should also take good care of their children, do not let their children touch toys that may cause danger, and also cultivate children to form a good habit of not swallowing things. ”
